Killer on the Road/ The Babysitter Lives

The novellas Killer on the Road and The Babysitter Lives are must-reads for any fan of Stephen Graham Jones - especially of his Angel Lake trilogy. Though the two share some DNA, both cinematic slashers with supernatural elements and strong Indian final girls, Killer on the Road is an action-packed road trip in the vein of The Hitcher or Joy Ride, while The Babysitter Lives is a claustrophobic bottle story, and at perfect novella length, were easy to devour in one sitting.
